EXPLAINED: Why is sam kerr in court | Rare Historical Photos

Australian football star Sam Kerr departs Kingston Crown Court after a pre-trial hearing on January 14, 2025 in Kingston upon Thames, England. The Matildas star, who also plays professionally for Chelsea in the Women's Super League, is facing charges of "racially aggravated harassment" of a police officer related to an incident in Twickenham on January 30, 2023. The long delayed trial is scheduled to start next month.

Sam Kerr has been in the headlines again but not for her football, for a court appearance.

The Chelsea forward attended Kingston crown court in London for a hearing on Tuesday and Wednesday where it was decided a trial will go ahead in relation to her charge of causing a police officer harassment, alarm or distress under Section 4A of the Public Order Act.
